Love him or hate him...

"Love him or hate him, Nuno is a pure genius in the realm of song writing. If you are looking for the perfect songs, they are here. If you are the kind of person who has followed him since the early days of Extreme and are looking for the amazing guitar solos, they are here. If you are looking for songs with unbelievable melodies where you can just sit back and let the song itself take over...they are also here. If you are a musician you will find yourself constantly wondering how he came up with `that idea'. Nuno is truly one of the best song writers I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. (from the music). Don't spend your money on college if you want to play guitar and learn how to write music, just buy this CD. You will learn how to write, arrange, sing, solo and harmonize for one low price of this (and his other CD's). Not since The Beatles have I personally been so moved by a song writer. Do yourself a favor and get some Nuno!"

This is my boy NUNO BETTENCOURT! Nuff Said!

"Thank You for reading this post!Now to the cd. This cd is great and is a must for any Extreme fan. This cd was abused, misused, & re-used. Could not take the cd out of player. Nuno is the Man! The entire album is really good with a kick ass intro to the first song "all Automatic" that really lets the listeners know right from the get go that this cd was gonna rock hard. The one thing I want to point out was that I really hated Nuno's solo album "Schizophonic" and that cd was horrible. This cd, and all his other works, are just all solid great works of musical genius and can not recommed them enough. One thing like to point out about NUNO is that he is already worldly known as a great guitarist, but he is also much more than just that. What separates Mr. Bettencourt from a lot of other guitarist out there is the fact that he is also a great producer, songwriter and singer. Plus, just like his former Extreme band he is very versatile in his musical range. This guy is gonna be around for a long time. The best songs on the album? Ask not which songs are the best.....ask which ones are not...Yes, it is that good with great rhythms and some long soloing..not to mention the demos are *gulp* awesome *gulp* yeah the demos of all things. Cheers Mate! Cheers!!"

WOW!

"Where do you start with describing this album? Firstly it has one of the funniest intros ever which leads into the brilliant opening track ALL AUTOMATIC. Things slow down a bit for the excellent I JUST WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND and the very emotional OVER AND OUT before getting very funked up with a near 4 minute guitar solo in LOVE IS... Put simply if you like music in general you will like this. If not your loss on one of the last great albums of the 20th Century. Buy this and love it"
